The Chippewa County Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council is accepting grant applications to fund youth focused projects/programs. Funds are available through the Youth Enrichment Endowment held at the Chippewa County Community Foundation. Interest earned from the endowed fund is awarded as grants to fund projects and programs that improve the quality of life for Chippewa County youth.

The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) was designed to train young people in decision making skills, to commit resources for youth projects and programs, and to involve youth in both volunteerism and philanthropy. Youth members are trained to review and evaluate grants. The group includes middle and high school students from Sault Ste. Marie, DeTour, Pickford and Rudyard.

The application deadline is Friday, April 26, at 4 p.m.

For more information or to request an application, please contact the Foundation office at (906) 635-1046.
